Synthetic human livers for modeling metabolic diseases.
Review in Current opinion in gastroenterology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose of reviewIn this review, we will explore recent advances in human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-based modeling of metabolic liver disease and biofabrication of synthetic human liver tissue while also discussing the emerging concept of synthetic biology to generate more physiologically relevant liver disease models. RECENT FINDING: iPSC-based platforms have facilitated the study of underlying cellular mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies for a number of metabolic liver diseases. Concurrently, rapid progress in biofabrication and gene editing technologies have led to the generation of human hepatic tissue that more closely mimic the complexity of the liver. SUMMARY: iPSC-based liver tissue is rapidly becoming available for modeling liver physiology due to its ability to recapitulate the complex three-dimensional architecture of the liver and recapitulate interactions between the different cell types and their surroundings. These mini livers have also been used to recapitulate liver disease pathways using the tools of synthetic biology, such as gene editing, to control gene circuits. Further development in this field will undoubtedly bolster future investigations not only in disease modeling and basic research, but also in personalized medicine and autologous transplantation.
